Romelu Lukaku will earn more than Diego Costa if he completes a move to Premier League champions Chelsea, reports say.

The Belgian striker will be on the move this summer after confirming yesterday that staying at Everton was ‘not an option’.

Lukaku, who scored 25 Premier League goals this season, is said to favour a return to Stamford Bridge although Manchester United continue to show interest.

As well as being ready to spend £80million on the transfer deal, the Evening Standard say Chelsea plan to pay Lukaku over £150,000-a-week.

The 24-year-old will therefore almost double his current salary if he agrees to join Antonio Conte’s side.

As well as potentially signing Lukaku, Chelsea are also being linked with a host of high-profile names, including Juventus ace Alex Sandro and Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez.

Conte is also said to be interested in bringing Alvaro Morata to west London – although the Real Madrid star appears to be moving towards a switch to Old Trafford.
